songs & poetry sing and speak of the oceans, skies, & fields of green
that can be seen
in the eyes of kings and queens that were once prince charming’s and princess anything’s,
the startling blues,
the striking greens,
it seems,
are the only colors to fall for,
but
       i
             fell
                     for
a pair of brown eyes that glow in the sun,
shine warmly in winter,
cocoa cinnamon colored eyes, spices and dry deserts,
pyramids and caravans come to mind,
with those eyes, those dark and brooding, laughing, dancing eyes framed by dark lashes and wrinkles from the smiles he’s always wearing

you can keep,
your blue-eyed boys,
and green-eyed girls
i’ll take my brown-eyed beloved
